The Blue Bomber Blue Blur Collision Competition (B4C2) Presented by the OverClocked ReMix Forums Introduction Worlds Collide! Wily and Eggman are up to no good! Those evil doctors of robotics have torn the multiverse asunder, and it's up to our boys in blue, Mega Man and Sonic, to set it right! Surely our heroes will prevail, so what's a little competition between friends, eh? Current News Voting for round 5 and 6 is live, and ends on Saturday, June 29, 2013, at 2PM EDT. Check the Voting and Results section of this post for voting rules and guidelines. Check the Releases section of this post for the latest remixes. Releases Round 1 Round 2 Round 3 Round 4 Round 5 Round 6 Voting and Results Voting takes place at the B4C2 social group, here on the forums. Things to keep in mind when voting: Everyone is allowed (and encouraged) to vote. The most important thing to consider when voting is how well the remix incorporates and arranges both themes. Production and enjoyability should also be considered. You are required to vote in each battle taking place during the round. If you don't, none of your votes will be counted for that round. You are not required to vote in battles that have a competitor advancing by default (in the case of missed deadlines or resignation). Generally, a voting thread for these battles will not be made. You are required to make an actual decision between two competitors for each battle, meaning, you cannot declare a draw or a tie. This will be counted as not voting and your other votes for other battles will not be counted. You are allowed (and encouraged) to vote for your own entry when voting in your own remix battle. Do not post reviews in the voting thread. Compile your reviews for a round into a single post in this thread. Post the name of the remixer you're voting for in boldface text. Post only once in each voting thread. Everyone must adhere to the Competitions Code of Conduct. Teams Blue Bombers jnWake - Mega Man 7 - Turbo Man Yami - MindWanderer - NovaReaper - Mega Man 7 - Burst Man Xarnax42 - Zerothemaster - Blue Blurs Cash and Change - therexasaurous - Theory of N - Tuberz McGee - Cosmic Sounds - Mr. L - Art Submission All entries must be sent to me (DarkeSword) via PM on the forums. Please include the name of your team and the round number in the subject line of your PM. Please do not use MediaFire as a host for your entry. I recommend Dropbox or SoundCloud. I encode all MP3s myself, so please send me your submissions in 16bit, 44.1KHz WAV format. Do not send MP3s. File names must be in the following format: Remixer - Title (Robot Master in the Zone).wav Example: DarkeSword - Snow Problem (Cold Man in the Ice Cap Zone).wav Please note that the Robot Master names are two words (e.g. Cold Man, not Coldman). Your artist name and mix title can be whatever capitalization you want but the Robot Master and Zone names must be capitalized properly (e.g. Cold Man and Ice Cap Zone, not cold man and ice cap zone). Properly formatted file names make it much easier for me to tag everything properly, which ensures good, consistent metadata on all the files that will be distributed to voters. You must adhere to this file name standard. If you don't, I will seriously consider disqualifying you, and I don't think anyone wants to be disqualified just because they couldn't name their file properly. In the past I have received really cryptic file names like gmrb2wip.wav and frost.wav, and that is unacceptable, especially now that the submission format is WAV. FAQ How does it work? The Blue Bomber Blue Blur Collision Competition (B4C2) is a team-based competition. 12 competitors will be divided into two teams of six. One team will represent the Mega Man series and the other team will represent the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Each week, everyone will be matched up with a person on the opposing team and compete in a remix battle using both their source and their opponent's source. At the end of the week, remixes will go up in a batch and voters will vote on the winners. Teams will accumulate wins every week, and at the end of the competition, the team with the most wins in the 6 week period will be the winners. All participating competitors and voters will adhere to the Competitions Code of Conduct. So do I just pick a team? What about my sources? Is it first-come-first-served? I'll be doing a draft for both Robot Master and Zone selection. I'll post a sign-up form where you can specify what team you prefer to be on, and also your source selections for both series. I'll go through and assign people to teams, and also everyone their first-pick, resolving any conflicts with a coin-toss and moving down the lists as necessary. You will only be assigned one source tune for the competition, so make your choices carefully. When does it start? The draft/recruitment period will last about a week, or until we hit the 12 person limit. I don't want to take any more than that because I don't want the competition to run long, as there's a big Mega Man competition happening this summer. I'm not a remixer but I want to take part somehow. What can I do to help? We need sigs and artwork and stuff, so if you're good with the Photoshops, that would be a big help. Please wait until I nail down the visual design for this competition before making anything though. I'd like things to be more visually consistent this time around. Isn't this all just your way of tricking people into making Mega Man and Sonic remixes for you? Of course it is.

I have an idea of how to do one without any elimination. I can run a short, 6 week compo with 12 participants if you guys are up for it. Competitors have to be ready to remix every week though. Should I do it?

You're making blanket assertion about a very large group of people based on anecdotal evidence. There's no "compelling statistical evidence" in this thread because there are at most, 20 people posting with any kind of regularity. 20 out of millions is not any kind of meaningful sample size. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying that you're stating something as fact without actually knowing whether or not it's actually true. No place for that here. Keep the hyperbole to yourself.

Any statistics to back that up?

What thread?

Nintendo just posted a profit of 72 million dollars.

Hey guys, quick update. I have a lot on my plate with FF5 and some other stuff I'm working on for OCR, so I need someone to pitch in and assist-direct on this thing. Let me know if you're in for it.

Fawful from Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga. I HAVE FURY

Hey, get back on topic. This isn't a Final Fantasy VII thread, nor is it a "my dream Zelda game" thread.

I took care of this. Consider it a favor. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhAHA

Most of the remixes listed here are solo piano. Check them out to get an understanding of what we look for.

Better to have two threads. One for Zelda and one for Earthbound. Feel free to make another one for one of those topics.

Is this thread about the new Zelda game or is it about Earthbound being re-released? Should be about one or the other. Please edit accordingly.

I totally jumped for joy when they ended up in Rapture. So awesome. Really loved the ending, and the overall theme, especially in the context of the biggest criticism of the original Bioshock ("You said the choices would matter! They didn't actually matter!"). It's almost like this game was designed as a direct response to that.

I've updated the first post with information for competition runners.

They do actually. Battle Network and Starforce still carry on the anime aesthetic of other Mega Man games.

Um, what? I said in the first post that this is from a few years ago. Capcom already dropped this. Did you even read the article?

This is insane. http://www.polygon.com/2013/4/9/4179628/mega-man-fps-maverick-hunter Apparently Capcom was developing an FPS reboot of the Mega Man franchise years ago. Video and images in the article.

Ha! Actually not a great deal, IMO, because it's all #1s. You're not getting full-story arcs, just the first issues of Marvel series and mini-series. It's their way of getting you hooked into the stories so that you'll buy the other issues in whatever story-arc you're interested in. And a lot of Marvel's recent books are overpriced, IMO.

Yeah, no.

Hm. Didn't receive anything today. Let's try for April 13.
